Hi i am trying to access data that is being stored in leaderstats by another script.

I have a script that writes Exp as a number value to the leaderstats and that is working ok.

I am then trying to access that number to obtain which rank to assign a play.

it seems to access the leaderstat data but with the value as 2 it should assign my rank as private but it is assigning me corporal for some reason.

It is most likely something simple but i am new to Lua and have pulled information from several scripts to write this.

Any ideas?? 

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ExpDataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Exp") 
local RankGui = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("RankGui")


local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	local playerKey = "Player_" .. player.UserId
	local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild('leaderstats')
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local myExp
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		myExp = ExpDataStore:GetAsync(playerKey)
	end)
	if success then
		print ("Experience Data Found")
		
		--Private
		if myExp >= 1 then -- Set the number to your group ID !
			print("Private")		
			local clonedgui = RankGui:Clone()
			clonedgui.TextLabel.Text = "Private"
			clonedgui.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(36,154,136)
			--clonedgui.Parent = character.Head
			clonedgui.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Head -- Yes, you can also just say character.Head						
		end	
		--Lance Corporal
		if myExp >= 50 then -- Set the number to your group ID !
			local clonedgui = player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("RankGui")
			print("Lance Corporal")		
			--local clonedgui = RankGui:Clone()
			clonedgui.TextLabel.Text = "Lance Corporal"
		end
		--Corporal
		if myExp >= 150 then -- Set the number to your group ID !
			local clonedgui = player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("RankGui")
			print("Corporal")		
			--local clonedgui = RankGui:Clone()
			clonedgui.TextLabel.Text = "Corporal"
		end
		--Sergeant
		if myExp >= 300 then -- Set the number to your group ID !
			local clonedgui = player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("RankGui")
			print("Sergeant")		
			--local clonedgui = RankGui:Clone()
			clonedgui.TextLabel.Text = "Sergeant"
		end
		--Staff Sergeant
		if myExp >= 500 then -- Set the number to your group ID !
			local clonedgui = player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("RankGui")
			print("Staff Sergeant")		
			--local clonedgui = RankGui:Clone()
			clonedgui.TextLabel.Text = "Staff Sergeant"
		end
		--Warrant Officer Class 2
		if myExp >= 1000 then -- Set the number to your group ID !
			local clonedgui = player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("RankGui")
			print("Warrant Officer Class 2")		
			--local clonedgui = RankGui:Clone()
			clonedgui.TextLabel.Text = "WO2"
		end
		--Warrant Officer Class 1
		if myExp >= 2500 then -- Set the number to your group ID !
			local clonedgui = player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("RankGui")
			print("Warrant Officer Class 1")		
			--local clonedgui = RankGui:Clone()
			clonedgui.TextLabel.Text = "WO1"
		end

	else
		-- Failed to retrieve data
	end

	leaderstats.Parent = player
end

for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
	onPlayerAdded(player)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
